Today’s English
September 4th, 2017

You insult a person by being disrespectful to them, by scolding them in public,  by not obeying their words and by speaking ill of them to others.  You also feel insulted when you are looked down by someone and not being recognised in the presence of others.

Top fifteen ways of expressing feelings of insult in English:
1. Why do you insult my intelligence? (=why do you treat me as if I’m stupid?”)
2. She’ll be offended if we don’t go to her party
3. Why are you so rude to me?
4. You can see neanderthal parents everywhere at Indian homes.
5. His statement to the press was an affront to many politicians.
